Thank you. Please vote for the qt3 definition of twatwaffle, as there are tons of other (WRONG!) definitions. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twatwaffle&defid=3088915

Of all the things I ever thought would happen to me, being referenced in the Urban Dictionary was never one of them. Definitely a resume padder.

Yet another good reason to use aliases pretty much everywhere. :) In this case, since they won't be able to find it on their own, I'm just gonna have to put the hyperlink on the resume itself.

Probably in the cover letter too.

Oh, now I get it -- jerri blank. There's some pretty subtle humour there, at least.

Nah - Jerri Blank is a character from a tv show I used to like a lot called "Strangers with Candy." It's my Xbox Live gamertag.

Whatever works for ya. :)

[Brad Grenz]

To be fair, the writers on the show came up with the name because they couldn't think of a last name. The script just had her listed as Jerri ______. So the interpretation is pretty close to the actual genesis of the name.

I love lesbians, I think all porn shoots should have a few.

[jerri blank]

Porn shoots only have fake lesbians.

I think this is true, at least of straight porn. They're all dressed like French maids or some crap like that, and no self-respecting lesbian I know, including myself, would ever wear an outfit like that.

REAL lesbian porn typically involves women meeting in the lumber section of Home Depot (which they are now patronizing again now that the company has decided to offer domestic partner benefits) and leaving together in a Subaru Outback. Sometimes they stop by the humane shelter to adopt a cat.

It. Is. HOT.

That made my day. I think the same could be said about 'real' straight porn, too. Most guys aren't pool boys or handymen who walk in on 18 year old girls touching themselves by the poolside or in the kitchen (this is totally inexplicable!).

That's because you're in Singapore, where walking in an 18 year old girl touching themselves by the pool is punishable by a $5,000 fee and several strokes of the cane.

Outside of Vermont and Colorado, Subarus do seem to be extremely popular with the "alternative" set. About half our lesbian friends have 'em.

Well, here we go with v.40 and the debut of the new format. As I've rebuilt the chart from scratch and added more "features," there are no doubt some glitches and typos that will need to be fixed in the coming days. Despite my attempts to make this more space-efficient, it's probably larger than the previous update, heh. We'll probably have more and nicer looking icons in the next update as well (I'm still trying to decide what categories there will be and who goes into which.) Tobias will continue to be an important part of this graphic, though occasional guest stars will also make an appearance. As is tradition, there won't be a legend for the chart.

AND EVERYTHING I WOULD LIKE TO BEEEEEEEEEEE
I NOW KNOW ALL THE BANNINGS AND ALIASES

(wiping away a small tear)

I am going to make a couple of guesses as to some icons - the flames mean they were banned for flaming. The CDs on fire mean they were banned for advocating piracy. The teddy bears mean they were banned for acting like babies.

The money icons and those blue ones I can't quite make out - no idea.

[EvilIdler]

Nice new look. You should just do a monthly round-up, though. 40 versions already!

[Fugitive]

My first guess is that the blue icons are berets, for the people that directly pissed off Tom somehow.

[AaronSofaer]

The money is obviously VMs.

The blue is maybe a beret? I'm lost.

[mdowdle]

The teddy bears mean they were banned for acting like babies.

I thought the teddy bears indicated that the banning was due, in part, to the fact that the poster was under the age of 18.

[Matthew Gallant]

I thought the blue icon was a tiara.

[Dirt]

Then Derek Smart should have one too.

[Guido Jones]

The blue icon looks like a cloud with motion lines on it - like you'd see in a cartoon fight.

[Kareem]

The flame is assigned to people who went out in a blaze of glorious insulting and angry rants.

Basically assholes.

The CD with the flame is indeed for advocating piracy - DeepT's ultimate demise was for bragging about pirating a Sims-related product I think, in a thread where Rod Humble was responding to SimCity comments. Unless I'm terribly misremembering.

Likewise for SirBruce. After unrepentantly talking about how he pirates games he asks industry people for an E3 pass.

[OrfBC]

Andrew Bub was a VM? Wasn't he here forever?

[Athryn]

Looks great, although the font is kinda hard for me to read when it's that size. :)

[Alan Au]

Andrew Bub was a VM? Wasn't he here forever?I'm not privy to the details, but apparently there was a personal disagreement between Tom and Bub, and Bub's repeated linking to his site caused the whole thing to flare up (resulting in a ban).

- Alan

[Kareem]

VM is probably not the right way to put it, but he was promoting GamerDad all the time either in his post signature or a profile field that appeared in every post. Can't remember which one it was. Tom asked him to remove it and he didn't, hence the gentle touching.

[Albert Woo]

Also, I was wondering if there's a higher-res version of the image?
I'll put up a hi-res version later for people who have trouble reading the text.


I'll miss the old ban chart though.
Oh yeah, me too!

[AndrewM]

Maybe a skull and crossbones instead of a CD on fire for piracy? Simply because skull and crossbones are totally sweet. Though they do lack subtlety.

What's with the fonts being distorted?

[Albert Woo]

What's with the fonts being distorted?

Hmm, there's something weird going on when I export the picture...the kerning on the fonts gets all messed up, and some pieces of text aren't anti-aliased...I'll probably switch it to something with better hinting.

No, DGS was unbanned after he turned 18 and subsequently showed us that age isn't really a distinguishing factor when it comes to being completely infantile.

Alrighty, I've cleaned up the fonts a bit in the regular version (you might need to refresh the previous page), and there are now links to a hi-res version under the main chart.

[Ed Solomon]

Do you think that's how I could fulfill this craving for recognition that's making me feel so empty inside?

I think Tim has shown you should use both and include a picture of a panda in the body of the post.

[Tankero]

I should probably claim that I am dating said panda.

[Rimbo]

Ah, so the blue icons are in fact berets. But even high-res, it's hard to tell. That might need a different icon.

And I see that synic and Kunikos were banned for goatse.


Andrew Bub was a VM? Wasn't he here forever?

Bub was a nice guy, very civil, contributed a lot, other than the fact that he continually promoted his site despite being asked repeatedly not to. That's just one of Tom's rules, and Bub kept breaking it over and over and over.

[Aeon221]

You mixed up six and seven (Jose Liz and Toutsuite) and forgot to include 8 (Brent Todd and Toddy).

[Albert Woo]

Yes, when you pay homage to greatness, it's good to include multiple references.

[jerri blank]

Ah, so the blue icons are in fact berets. But even high-res, it's hard to tell. That might need a different icon.

So does it mean they were banned for being French?

I'm still not clear on what the beret is supposed to signify. They crossed Tom? They wouldn't don a beret? They have their berets in the clouds?

[Albert Woo]

As Tom would no doubt remind us, what's indicated on the icons usually won't get you banned outright. They will, however, likely get you a warning from the Entity.

[RickH]

So does it mean they were banned for being French?

Whoa, don't say anything you can't take back.

I'm still not clear on what the beret is supposed to signify. They crossed Tom? They wouldn't don a beret? They have their berets in the clouds?
Possibly the second one. It's a good thing I didn't add the red, green and silver berets this time!

It wasn't actually goatse, but you get the idea. It was an accident in the ass thread where my shitty old monitor was too dark to notice there were naughty bits visible.

I'm telling you, it's a tiara. It means the poster got banned for being a pretty princess.

Awesome graphic.

[Albert Woo]

And I see that synic and Kunikos were banned for goatse.



It wasn't actually goatse, but you get the idea.

Like the "goatse" icon above, there's no real need for too literal an interpretation of these and future icons, as many of them are meant to be abstractions. As noted by others, the little money icon doesn't necessarily mean the poster was a VM, but that he/she may have engaged in some VM-like or pimpage-like activities. More attractive/clearly-rendered icons will eventually find their way onto the chart, with the exception of the "goatse" icon, which will remain as abstract and vague as possible for all our sakes.

If there was ever a graphic that called out for a website... Tooltips and more information on mouse over ftw.

Awesome graphic.

It needs a wiki, like Lost. Qt3banningregistrypedia.com.

[MyNameIsWill]

2004 and 2005 were pretty calm around these parts, eh?

[EvilIdler]

The last peaceful years, before the floodgates were opened.

[MattKeil]

Before the dark times.

[Kareem]

When a new age of this world began.

[Talisker]

This land was green and good, until the Crystal cracked.

[Rimbo]

And we will call it...





This Land.

[Funkula]

I think we should call it your grave!

Ahhh! Curse your sudden-but-inevitable betrayal!

So THIS is how my latecomer Germanic tribes family felt, hanging about outside Hadrian's Wall.

Please... tell us more about your account history. What exactly did you say? How did Tom react, exactly? Who did you pwn? Conversely, do you feel ashamed instead? Do tell.

[Funkula]

You know, I was really expecting this resurrection to be in reference to an update.

One relating to current events, elsewhere.

I admit the same surprise, but I think the plan is to slowly drive him into madness.

That "event" you were expecting happened about an hour after your post, heh.

[Mark Crump]

Who got banned now?

[Talisker]

I'll bet a nickel it was Iorek_Byrnison.

[Fugitive]

Tsk tsk, you are falling behind in keeping up with the hivemind. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=1364358#post1364358)

[Talisker]

I was right, woot!

[Funkula]

At least he went out the same way he came in: with no comprehension of the basics of posting.

[Dave Markell]

That describes most of them pretty well, actually.

[EvilIdler]

I'm not surprised.

[Bill Dungsroman]

For some, there is no saving throw.

[VictoriaWong]

Post withheld because those accounts of which I complained have not been vetted yet.

[LesJarvis]

Oh, we got registrations from HOTXXXINURBUM and so on pretty often, but thanks to the stringent vetting process they can't actually post anything.

[Albert Woo]

Possibly NSFW. (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/ephemera3000/Vetting.jpg)

[VictoriaWong]

I think I was confused because it was the first time I saw one in Currently Active Users.

[Tankero]

Color me fortunate for slipping in with the spillage. I would've never gotten past an actual vetting...

[Brendan]

Before he gets banned can someone remind me to ask the next Iorek why the hell he wanted to post on QT3 in the first place.

[ZekeDMS]

Same here Tankero, although I sent in my vetting app, and right after, it went open :P

I think I'd have survived anyway, but it was nice to just jump in.

Brendan, I assume the reason will be to START THE REVOLUTION AND FREE US FROM OUR CORPORATE MASTERS!

[Rimbo]

Wow... speaking as someone who has had more than his fair share of stupid posts and general asshattery, The Fall of Iorek was some really entertaining shit. I mean, if you're going to go out, go out in a blaze of glory, no? At least it was entertaining stupidity.

I think I'll kind of miss him.

[tiohn]

Oh, Iorek. Our one and only furry.

[Funkula]

Before he gets banned can someone remind me to ask the next Iorek why the hell he wanted to post on QT3 in the first place.

In the case of this past one, it was apparently to find out what we thought of the video game adaptation of The Golden Compass.

[Rimbo]

Alas, poor Iorek! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite
theft, of most excellent piracy. He hath bore me on his back a
thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is!
My gorge rises at it.

Tom doesn't dare ban me. I may have information concerning a certain tattoo, and could possibly post certain appropriate (or perhaps inappropriate) pictures on a certain Wikipedia article!

Normally I browse from work. It's been extremely busy lately though and I've also been crazy with getting into grad school (the University of San Francisco accepted me though, so there is that). I also found that by spending less time online at home, I have more time to play games! :)

[Chris Nahr]

Me too. What was that for?

[Nellie]

Gnawing someone elses hand?

[red guy]

On April 11, he admitted that he'd been banned twice (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=1309943#post1309943), and wasn't sure why he'd been readmitted that second time.

Two weeks later, he said his last words (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=1324646#post1324646) (warning: P&R) and was disappeared again.

Don't you understand, Matthew? Some things are best left unknown.

[LesJarvis]

You ass! I thought you might be linking to why he wanted to do it, which was the actual mystery.

Doesn't the video make it obvious? He was trying to create a portal that would allow Satan to cross over into our world from his realm of eternal damnation. Thankfully T-Rex couldn't figure out how to work the electric drill.

Duct tape.

[ZekeDMS]

Someone got fired at work, the other day, and asked the manager not to tell anyone why.

Naturally we all sat around trying to figure it out to avoid the same fate, but in the back of my mind was Tom's voice, calling us all yentas.

[Lake]

Yeah, he's gone. I think his symbol should be a Fallout boy icon with a circle and line through it.

Fallout boy? Why? Was he a big hater on that horrible, emo band (http://www.falloutboyrock.com/)?

Nah, I keed. But I think you mean either PIP or Vault Boy.

[Dave Markell]

PIP Boy, Vault Boy, Fallout Boy--I'm so confused!

But yeah, you're right, I meant Vault Boy.

I'm curious why Executioner Five hasn't managed to be banned yet. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=45851) The garbage he spews in that thread is some of the most reprehensible, irresponsible behavior I've seen on these boards in a long time.

[UncleSmoothie]

I wonder if Tom had already decided to pull the trigger on Thamer before this comment (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=1411436#post1411436), or if that had been the last straw.

I think he gets a pass due to the high probability that he got a lifetime subscription for a game that folded after 6 months of broken, half-assed operation.

[UncleSmoothie]

And if he was banned, what would become of the cherished "Executioner Five, which EB?" meme?

[RepoMan]

Actually, we now know it was because he was trying to radically accelerate the greenhouse effect. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-9983744-54.html)

And, um, why are people saying he was banned again? He still has a public profile and I still can send him PMs, when I click on his name. See for yourself. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=1324646#post1324646)

I'm not sure if that's a reliable way of checking, though. He's gone from the Members List, which has been the traditional way to tell.

I think there might be different levels of banning, from just not being able to post but still able to PM Tom, to outright not being able to log in anymore.
</yenta>

[RepoMan]

Well, he also hasn't posted since 4/25/2008, so that's also a pretty good sign.

[Mike O'Malley]

I don't know, but I'd probably have to change my location field for the first time in however many years.

[stusser]

Rather than being banned Theo was removed from the group of people that can post (inner circle). So he can still login to the forum but can't post. As to why you'll have to ask Tom but risk a response involving yentas.

[Stroker Ace]

Stusser, no one really wants to see behind the veil. You're ruining my popcorn :(

[stusser]

Well you made me curious enough to go check. My apologies.

Yentas.

[Raife]

I'm pretty sure Raife was banned, he hasn't posted since 6/8.

More precisely, he renamed his main account Roger Wong -> Lunch of Kong, then sprang that second, "Roger Wong"-named head. So methinks he should have both the arrow and the second head. Or a double-headed arrow. Or a double-arrowed head. Or maybe we should just accept that Roger Wong is everywhere.
